Chapter 517 – Red-eyed Black Shadow

　　”How are they moving so fast?!”
　　A young girl wearing glasses in the 007 squad that was speeding along spoke in shock.
　　”What’s wrong? Little Yu?” Vice Captain Han Qing asked.
　　Due to the rule restrictions, the captain of 007 squad, Guang Qingsheng, was unable to join this purge mission, so it was left to the vice-captain, Han Qing, to lead the team to the Eastern District.
　　Qi Xiaoyu’s right index finger was pressed against her temple, and her eyes were tightly closed.
　　”They don’t know what kind of transportation they took, ignoring the terrain, they moved to the vicinity of the Eastern District in one go, and they’re about to arrive at the theater.”
　　”It should be the ability of one of their team members.” Han Qing was thoughtful, “It doesn’t matter, the beginning will let them for a while.”
　　”That’s right, running faster is nothing, we have Xiao Yu’s [Sense God Diagram], as long as that ‘Mystery’ is still within the eastern district’s boundaries, we’ll be able to instantly identify it and find it out.” Zhao Kun said with a smile.
　　”Vice Team Han, do we need to be so serious?” On the side, Yang LeTong hesitantly spoke, “Since this is the Fifth Reserve Team’s test, wouldn’t it be a happy occasion for everyone if we let off a bit of steam and let them pass with flying colors?”
　　The other team members also nodded their heads.
　　To them, this was just an ordinary purging mission, but to the Fifth Reserve Team, it was a matter of whether or not they could be successfully converted, and if this team planted a heel on them, this would be a big knot.
　　As long as they stepped back a little, both allowing Da Xia to have one more special squad and making good relations with this special squad, it would certainly be the best ending.
　　Han Qing glanced at them, “Do you think that a team with the qualifications to become the fifth special squad needs to rely on us to let off steam in order to pass the examination?”
　　Yang LeTong froze.
　　”Since the Nightwatchman’s higher-ups are so optimistic about them, it means that they definitely have something to offer, and this confrontation test doesn’t exist so that we can block them from becoming a special squad, but rather, through this form, little by little, we can sharpen the sharpness that belongs to them.
　　We are just the whetstone.
　　Since we are the whetstone, we have to play the role of a whetstone, and only if we are sturdy enough can we polish a sharper blade …… If we let them win too easily, it will only cause them to look down on us and think that squad 007 is nothing more than that.”
　　”Then what if, we win?”
　　”If this knife, let the whetstone break apart, then it only means that their Dao is not enough to qualify as a special squad.” Han Qing spoke indifferently.
　　Eastern District.
　　Century Grand Theater.
　　”This, is the place where that ‘Limitless’ Realm Mystic was witnessed?” Chubby Baili looked at the downtrodden theater in front of him and said suspiciously.
　　”This theater has existed for nearly a hundred years, and it is said that at the time, this was the most prosperous place in the entire Huaihai, but because of the diversification of modern entertainment, coupled with the opening of a new, more luxurious theater over in the downtown area, this place has gone unnoticed, and even if the performances are on time, there is basically no audience underneath the venue.” Cao Yuan opened his mouth to explain.
　　”Old Cao, you still know so much?”
　　”I also spent a year in Huaihai and came here once before when the tickets for the performances here were discounted.” Cao Yuan shrugged.
　　Due to the sighting of the “mysterious” appearance, the entire theater had been cordoned off by the police, but fortunately, Guang Qingsheng had already greeted the police, so Lin Qiye and the others entered the theater without any problems.
　　Inside the theater, the furnishings were even older than the outside, even though every corner was cleaned, there was still a feeling of rags and tatters, and the venue was relatively narrow, the distance between the tables and chairs was very narrow, and only a few booths on the second floor looked more spacious.
　　”The place where that thing was witnessed is right there.” The thought police officer following Lin Qiye and the others pointed ahead.
　　Lin Qiye and the others followed his finger and a look of surprise appeared in their eyes, “The stage?”
　　”Uh-huh.” The police officer nodded, “Specifically, you guys look at the surveillance.”
　　He had someone bring in the theater’s surveillance, placing it on the audience’s table and playing it up live.
　　The direction of the surveillance was sideways to the stage, and was able to see the actors’ front faces, as well as the first two rows of the auditorium, but during the performance, the entire auditorium was empty, not a single person.
　　But even if there was no audience, on the stage, several actors were still diligently completing their performances.
　　Suddenly, in the corner of the stage, a black liquid seemed to flow out of the void, flowing down a pillar to the floor, converging into a black shadow.
　　Vaguely, from the surveillance, a flash of crimson could be seen in the center of the black shadow, like an eye, looking around.
　　Immediately afterward, it quietly and silently wandered to the feet of one of the actors, and suddenly surged out of the ground like a hideous black beast, swallowing his form in one bite.
　　This scene scared the other actors, two of them rolled and crawled to run off the stage, and the actress who was playing against that unlucky actor even doubled over, directly fainted on the spot ……
　　After the black shadow enveloped the actor, it gradually faded and turned into a thin layer of shadow covering the surface of the actor’s body.
　　The actor’s eyes were tightly closed, as if he was asleep.
　　The next moment, in the center of the actor’s brow, a crimson vertical eye suddenly opened, emitting a bizarre shimmering light.
　　After being possessed by this red-eyed black shadow, the actor didn’t pay attention to his fainted colleague on the ground, but unhurriedly took off his costume, walked off the stage, draped a black coat from the audience, and picked a black bowler hat from the costume rack on the side of the stage and put it on his head.
　　Then he raised his head, and through the low black brim of the hat, the crimson vertical pupil looked at the monitor.
　　The corners of his mouth rose slightly.
　　He turned his head, casually took a cane prop, and tapped it three times on the ground at his feet, and then disappeared in a flash.
　　The scene ended here.
　　”That’s gone?” Baili Chubby raised his head in bewilderment, “He didn’t kill a single person?”
　　”No, the actors on stage all survived, but the male actor who was possessed by him is still alive or dead.” The police officer spoke.
　　An Qingyu raised her head, her gaze falling on the stage in front of her, pondering.
　　”What did you think of?” Lin Qiye walked over to his side.
　　”Captain Guang is wrong.” An Qingyu slowly spoke, “It is not possessing a higher IQ …… it is possessing an extremely high IQ.”
　　He stretched out his hand and pointed to the darkness on the upper right side of the stage, “The location of this surveillance is very hidden, and even if you look at it carefully, it is still very recognizable, but this ‘Mystery’ saw through it with a single glance, and he also naturally put on clothes and a hat, and his demeanor, is not at all Not like a ‘Mystery’ ……
　　but like a real human being.”
